The Standard Oil Company, which for some time has been experimenting at its extensive Cleveland, O., works with oil as fuel, ordered all the apparatus out, stored it carefully away, and returned to coal. The reason alleged is that the tank cars can be put to more profit able use than hauling fuel oil from the Find. lay fields.

Conviction of Jake Sharp.

On Thursday last Jake Sharp was convicted
OF bribery and corruption in the matter OF the
elevated railway franchise of New York City.
The transaction took place in 1884. The sub
stance of it was that he was given by the Board
of Aldermen the franchise for railway on
Broadway, instead Of putting it up for sale to
the highest bidder. The case consumed thirty
four days, including twenty three days con-
sumed in getting the jury, but so conclusive
did the jury find the evidence that it took but
thirteen minutes to agree upon averdict. Link
after link was added by the prescott ton to the
chain that connected Sharp with the corrupt
action of the board. until it clear that he
was q party to it and was Its chief beneficiary.
The case has remarkable history. Early in
1854 Sharp got the Legislature 10 pass a p dil
Broadway. The majority of the board Of alder
men thereupon formed a "combine" to "nego-
tiate' with the builder OF the roaq; whoever ne
may be- for the privilege of building it, and
held meeting at the residence of one OF their
number to consider the various bribes that
were offered. A letter from VIM. G. Whitney,
written about that time, named 81 ,00O.0O0 as The
sum certain capitalists would pay the city for
the franchise, but it was soon made plain that
the combine had concluded 10 sell the iran
chise for their private benefit Several Drloes.
it is said, were offered. but Sharps offer OF
S50u00O in cash was thought to be the safest and
it was accepted.
voted to Sharp over the mayors veto and the
public got nothing but the parties to the COM
b1ne got from Sl2UUU To S2UUOU apiece, anu othef
parties connected with the outrageous trans
action received like handsome sums. The
public was indignant, but nothing was done 10
bring the bribers and bribed under scrutiny
till a legislative committee came down from
Albany to pry into the matter something
was then learned of the details, but evidence
justifying an Indictment was still lacking.

Jachne, q member of the combine first sup
piled clue, and, that with confession
and behayals, the whole story has been brought n
out, and number of the aldermen. with Sharp
himself, have been convicted. 1t is a curious
circumstance that proved the meeting OF the
cOnspIrators at McLaughlins house TO arrange
for the disposal of the franchise to Sharp, ana
with the evidence of an informer, secured con-
victions. All concerned in the affair have mad
reason to regret it. Jachne, Mclaughlin and
O'Neil are In the penitentiary Of the other
parties to the combine, some are in exile, some
are held for trial with the certainty of cohVlc-

 The digestive system is wholly out of order and Diarrhea or Constipa. tiUn may be symptom or the two may alternate. There are often hem orrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or fiatulence and tender ness in the pit of the stomach.
